Line-up will also be pasted on this <br />website and will be updated frequently. <br />Click here for a map of the parade route. Disregard Map quest's written directions. <br />Refer to description below. Parade begins at Rush and Main St, goes left on Main, <br />right <br />onto Orono RoadlParkway, continues past the library and City Hall, and ends behind <br />the <br />fairgrounds at the corner of Joplin. <br />There are no bathrooms in the line-up area or along the parade route, so please plan <br />accordingly! <br />IMPORTANT PARTICIPANT INFORMATION <br />Parade line-up is along Main Street in Eik River. Click here for line-up diagram. <br />Please <br />note: diagram is approximate and not-to-scale, and includes street names and unit <br />numbers. <br />For ease of traffic flow, please enter the parade line-up from the east (the side closer <br />to <br />Historic downtown Elk River). All parade units will be facing the west, the second half <br />of <br />the units will be lined up on the wrong side of the road. <br />Please avoid having cars drop off parade participants on Main Street. Plan for your <br />group to meet/drop off on side streets along the parade line-up area. We only want <br />the <br />vehicles that will be pulling floatslpart of the parade to enter the line-up area. <br />When you get to your line-up spot, please snug up to the unit before you. We have <br />designated specific footage for each unit (based on the measurement you provided on <br />your entry form), and don't have much allowances for extra space between. <br />The parade ends behind the fairgrounds at the intersection of Orono Parkway and <br />Joplin <br />Ave. Please plan to meet your group somewhere like the fairgrounds parking lot, near <br />the east Main Entrance gate. Stopping along Joplin Ave causes a lot of traffic issues. <br />Questions may be directed to Meghan Matteson at 763-442-1720 or by a-mail at <br />dero0071Ca2gmail.com.
